Kinda wondering what it is you guys collect besides games

[Michael Helgeson]

I typically collect movies,and off and on Transformers G1 and G2 toys. The only G2 stuff I get is the reissues of G1 stuff. Some are kinda hard to seemcause of the sucky cam,and all. Like Bombshell,which is behind Kickback,and Skids,which is behind the mini HOC Starscream,and Silverbolt,located behind one of my Megatrons.

I have most of the weapons,I keep them in a zip baggie,along with other weapons to figures I dont have yet in my collection. As you can see I also have the one and only Go-bot in my collection that I ever liked,and intend to keep.

I have more on the way too, another Grapple, Soundwave, Shockwave, Hoist, Astrotrain,Red Alert,Sunstreaker,Repugness,and Brainstorm. I also collect certain old comics,like New Mutants,X-Force up till issue 115,and some others depending on who the artist was and who wrote the story.

My wife and I used to collect yugioh cards but we've recently been selling them at the pulguero (flea market). We also tried collecting wrestling cards but that got boring rather quickly. I mainly collect movies that I liked when I was younger, especially movies my wife hasn't seen (which is plenty, that rock she was living under when she was young was huge!). On the computer, I collect odd code fragments and porn.

Mike, that's a pretty damn good collection of Transformers you got there.   Maybe you oughta get in contact with Matt Caracappa of X-ENTERTAINMENT and contribute your pics to a future transformers article he may do.

As for what I collect, it's usually anime nowadays. If I see a good series I like, I'll snatch it up, provided I got the right amount of cash.

I love reading books and magazines, but I don't really "collect" them, per se: I just hate to see stuff thrown in the trash, especially stuff I'll read, so I end up getting stuff from folks.

Usually, I prefer it if I can find something at the library. But they clear out a lot of books every year and have gotten rid of lots of stuff I'd want to read... like the Choose Your Own Adventure books from 1979-1986. Most of the libraries around here used to have nearly complete collections (when I was a wee kid), but now I'm lucky to find 4-6 titles at any particular branch.

I don't have much money these days, but I love music and have tons of records and CD's. I have tons of cassettes, too, but I have to "digitize" a lot of them soon since they won't last forever. My cassette player in my car broke a year ago... a death knell for the tapes, it seems.

I don't actively collect anything, but I still have 2 zillion GI Joe toys from when I was kid. It's in a trunk somewhere in my parent's attic. Hopefully, they didn't give the toys away (as parents do) because one of these days I want to play with them "one last time", probably with my daughter .

I would,Ive been on that site before,hes got some damn funny reviews of old food and stuff,and the comercials for old toys are great. Im surprised he hasnt made fun of Video Power on there,that video game show that started off having Accliam game characters in a cartoon,then spawned into a gameshow type thing. The show was rigged. Id figured X-Entertainment woulda been all over that show making fun of it,because there is tons of content there to make fun of.

Also,I need to get a better cam,its been getting worse and worse as of late,and the pics from it used to be nice and sharp.

Yes,I still love the GI Joe stuff too from the 80ies. Those toys are top notch. I was collecting them off and on up untill 2003,then sold them all to make room for other things. I prob will again soemtime. The show is out of print ,and the rights to the different seasons have been tossed back and forth,so we may never see them all on DVD in real quality,esp by just one company.

Nice collection...

I had started collecting loads of Star Wars Lego, but it's pretty much all packed away and I've definately got a lot of catching up to do. (I gave up around the time the blockade runner got released.)

Apart from that, I used to do a lot of collecting/making of movie replica props:

(You can click on the thumbnails to see the other ones I own...  "741" is my id number. )

I wanted to expanded further then Star Wars...  Ack... Where does time go?

Thats totally a bad ass costume. My son loves that kinda stuff. He was blown away when we went to Boo at the Zoo and he was in his Vader costume and ran into a small troop of Storm Troopers.It was perfect and made his day.
Hes totally into anything to do with the Empire,and pretty much hates rebel scumm.

Picked up Transformers Classics Starscream and Astrotrain this evening.
Astrotrain,most powerful of all the gods.
They go along the old toys just fine.

[Michael Helgeson]

I redid some of the pics,and included the new Starscream and Astrotrain in them.

I would,Ive been on that site before,hes got some damn funny reviews of old food and stuff,and the comercials for old toys are great. Im surprised he hasnt made fun of Video Power on there,that video game show that started off having Accliam game characters in a cartoon,then spawned into a gameshow type thing. The show was rigged. Id figured X-Entertainment woulda been all over that show making fun of it,because there is tons of content there to make fun of.

I remember Video Power. I also remember the infamous episode where the kid said "hell no" and the host got nervous and tried to correct him by saying "heck no".  Good times.

As for the cartoon, I remember it starred some basketball playing dude (was it Michael Jordan from Jordan vs Bird?), Kuros from Wizards & Warriors I believe, and Kwirk the tomato.  I must be the only person on this planet who still remembers that damn tomato's name and the fact that he had a gameboy game that nobody even remembers anymore.

It also had the cop from Narc,and the Bigfoot Truck,from the Bigfoot game,and the basketball guy was from Arch Rivals. The bag guys consisted of Mr. Big from Narc,and others from various Accliam games. Yea,most of the games they played were sports,and the sessions were rigged,typically with the player having a awesome team on Bases Loaded,and the computer team having the worse one. Also all the female contestants were hand picked for their UN-ability to play games,so that they would surely lose. The show,as it was,was filmed near or in the Bronx,I dont remember which,but thats why the kids always seemed like Jersy kids or kids from the under developed gettos,hoping to get Neogeos and Genesis systems so they could ditch their nes systems. Stupid f*cking Johnny Arcade and his ripoff show. The only fond memories I have of it are of the fact that during comercial break TG-16 ads were aired.

DEVASTATOR ROCKS!!!

Yes he does!!!!
I have the G2 version because Im not as fond of the green color,although I will prob still pick up the green set some day. There are chinese replicas out there,but I have avoided them all. Everything I got is takara or hasbro only so far. I have all the Combaticons,I hand picked the ones I got for their colors. I dont like all the G1 color schemes,so a picked a couple from the G2 reissue,and from a Ruination set. I still need to get the hands and feet for them to form Bruticus.
